West Berkshire Young Carers Project provides a service to young carers, aged 5 - 17 years old living in West Berkshire. Young carers provide vital emotional and practical support to a family member with a care need. Their care role can have an impact on their wellbeing, education and social opportunities.
We are looking for someone with the skills and ability to offer a coordinated approach in supporting young carers in West Berkshire through our activity programme during school holidays and after school clubs during term-time.

As a Young Carers Activities Coordinator you will be part of a small dedicated team and directly deliver the activity programme. You will plan, deliver, promote and review a programme of activities for the school holiday periods and after school groups for young carers. The core aim of the activity programme is to provide young carers with a much needed break from their caring responsibilities, in a safe and social environment where they can meet other young carers and to maintain their wellbeing.

Using your strong organisational and team skills, you will be responsible for organising, budgeting and carrying out risk assessments for the delivery of the activities programme, including leading and participating in the activities.

Using your creativity and innovative thinking, you will plan, research and effectively manage resources to provide the most appealing and cost effective school holiday programme and after school groups to maximise the number of breaks we can offer to young carers. You will create a programme with an emphasis on having fun, spending time with other young carers, enabling peer support and developing their self-esteem and confidence.

Your ability and willingness to regularly work outside normal working hours is required.
As a Young Carers Activities Coordinator you will be expected to effectively communicate with young carers and their families. You will be creative in your approach to providing fun activities and peer support groups, while maintaining the high standards expected of the role.

This is a 22 month fixed term contract - Apprenticeship

West Berkshire Council offer excellent employment benefits such as flexible working, access to a wide range of relevant training, local government pension scheme, family friendly policies, a range of local discounts and much more. You will also be entitled to a generous annual leave entitlement of 27 days per annum rising to a maximum of 32 days.
